That's a ridiculously good deal for the Rangers. He could go for at least $34M+ for a 2 yr deal on the market. Ron Washington's partying.

I'm sure his past drug problems and health issues the last 2 years and the risk of both going forward have a lot to do with how low the price is compared to hamilton's talent. Overall I would say that price is probably a good middle ground for both sides considering the risks.

Good for Hammy, at this point in his life, he will do better with that much money then most. I am happy to see him where he is.

I would love to see him giving back to help people battling drug addiction and alcoholism. He is a huge example of someone getting it all and throwing it away. He could help out a lot of people by just being a good example of getting their life straightened out.

I hope his wife doesn't give Josh the checkbook or a debit card.

Believe me, he does a good amount helping others with addictions as well as supporting his church and community. I know some people will never be able to move on from thinking of him as a "druggie", but he has been thorugh a lot and came out stronger.

I made a joke, but I do wish Josh the best.

Between People magazine and other celebrity shows, it gets old watching people fail.

I agree, we have become a society that gets more pleasure at times hearing of others fail then working for own personal successes.

I still get chills thinking back to his home run derby at Yankee Stadium a few years ago.

^No kidding, if I had to pick the greatest baseball "event" during my lifetime, even though it wasnt a game, doesnt count for anything, that would be mine probably. Most amazing display. Was even more awesome that he had Coach Counsil there with him to pitch for him. Was awesome to talk with him about that expereince, never expected Josh to ask him to do that.
